Argue Witcha Mama

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You rolled your eyes at supper I bit my tongue too long Mama set that cornbread down And the whole house felt so strong Grandmami said, "Baby, don't you let your pride run wild" I was five words from a thunderstorm And one step from a child [Pre-Chorus] If you keep that fire It'll burn your own back door You can shout your truth, baby But watch what you shout it for [Chorus] Argue witcha mama Argue witcha grandmami Don't let the red dirt Turn your heart too hard on me I tell you this, darling I tell you plain and true If you let the devil ride He sure enough will drive you [Verse 2] Mama wore them work-rough hands Like rings she never bought Grandmami kept a Bible page Folding every hard-shut Cho mouth thought I seen love in the skillet And mercy in the porch swing creak Seen a bad mood drown itself In one good Sunday speak [Pre-Chorus] You can stand your ground And still keep your name clean Anger makes a loud mouth But it don't make you mean [Chorus] Argue witcha mama Argue witcha grandmami Don't let the red dirt Turn your heart too hard on me I tell you this, darling I tell you plain and true If you let the devil ride He sure enough will drive you [Bridge] [Breakdown] Let that organ moan Let that brass lean low Count it out slow Till that hard edge go Say it soft now Say it like you know What you feed in daylight Grows in the soul [Final Chorus] Argue witcha mama Argue witcha grandmami Don't let the red dirt Turn your heart too hard on me I tell you this, darling I tell you plain and true If you let the devil ride He sure enough will drive you Argue witcha mama Argue witcha grandmami Keep your cool, baby Keep that love in view I tell you this, darling I tell you plain and true If you let the devil ride He sure enough will drive you
